Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Creates a dedicated VA phone line for questions about veterans’ job training and rehab services, and requires each VA regional office to post clear contact info online.
- Requires VA staff who help with these services to join monthly Q&A sessions with school officials, so colleges can better guide veterans to the right help.
- Requires VA counselors to give in-person briefings at schools in their region about available services; schools more than 150 miles away can get a virtual briefing.
- Requires the VA to approve or deny a veteran’s request to extend their rehab program time within 30 days of the request.
- Makes the VA report to Congress every year on how often extension requests are made, approved, and denied, adding more public accountability.
